With iOS 17.2 (and later), iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users gained the ability to record spatial videos and relive those memories on an Apple Vision Pro when it arrives.
Before you record spatial video for the first time, go to Settings > Camera > Formats, then turn on “Spatial video for Apple Vision Pro.”
Once spatial video capture is enabled in Settings, users can leverage the advanced camera systems on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max to capture their favorite moments in three dimensions. Spatial videos are captured in 1080p at 30 frames per second in standard dynamic range.
To set up spatial video recording, go to Settings > Camera > Formats, then turn on “Spatial video for Apple Vision Pro.”
To record spatial video:
° Open Camera on your iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max.
° Select Video mode, then rotate your iPhone to landscape orientation.
° Tap the Vision Pro icon, then tap the Record button or press either volume button to start recording. For best results, do the following as you record: Keep your iPhone steady and level. Frame your subjects 3 to 8 feet from the camera. Use lighting that is even and bright.
The Apple Vision Pro icon is circled.
° Tap the Record button or press either volume button to stop recording.
° Tap the Vision Pro icon to turn off spatial video recording.
After you record a spatial video, you can view it in 3D in the Photos app on your Apple Vision Pro. You can also view spatial videos in 2D and share them just like regular videos on any of your other Apple devices. Spatial videos sync to all your devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID and have iCloud Photos turned on.
